Hysteroscopy is an essential instrument for doctors to perform uterine examinations on women. Some women may not be very familiar with physical examinations, so they may feel afraid of this examination and even do not know how to cooperate. Let's learn about what hysteroscopy examination needs to do?
1. Expand the cervix to the required size for examination, place the hysteroscope along the direction of the uterine cavity, inject a 5% glucose solution into the uterine cavity to flush it clean, and enlarge the uterus.
2. After the complete dilation of the uterine cavity, the shape and endometrium of the uterine cavity can be observed through hysteroscopy, and various parts of the uterine cavity can be examined by rotating the hysteroscope in sequence. The cervix can also be slowly withdrawn to check the cervical canal, but glucose must be continuously injected into the uterine cavity during the examination.
3. Hysteroscopy can perform tissue biopsy, and hysteroscopy examination should be performed within 3-7 days after menstruation. At this time, the endometrium is in the early stage of hyperplasia, thin and less prone to bleeding, with less mucus secretion. If there is any lesion in the uterine cavity, it can be clearly observed. It is important to note that fasting for 6-8 hours is required before hysteroscopy examination.
Hysteroscopy can cause mild pain, which is usually acceptable and there is no need to worry too much. Hysteroscopy should be performed in a regular hospital to ensure safety and accuracy. Due to the invasive nature of hysteroscopy, it may cause uterine cavity infections during or after the surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions.
